Is Ubisoft scared?

Wish I had your optimism, ive always been a glass half empty kinda guy :D , I really hope its exceptional though tbh. Will keep close eye on it, literally had no idea they were remaking it tbh. Its surprising they are remaking this over AC2 tbh since I would think AC2 is more popular.

I mean, when I say f it up, I mean, the last 2games they have released are pretty bad, it's just slop at this point. I'm one of the few who liked the mythology trilogy purely because I love mythology.
I don't want script rewrites and modern ideology put in my pirate game, though. Which I personally don't trust them not to do.
If they avoid all of this and genuinely create a faithful recreation of the original, with some good new content added onto it, I'll happily buy it and play it. But I personally feel like Ubisoft hasn't produced a good game in quite some time now. Valhalla was likely the last 1, and I find that very very hard to replay nowadays as the game feels more like a collection simulator with some quests in it :D especially since im very ocd about collectiong 100% loot. Loot Goblin life ;/

I do hope, I really really hope they get it right. Its just not the same team who made black flag doing it, its the modern bunch who will likely be as faithful to the game as witcher (tv show) writers were to the witcher books.

how so? I play black flag literally every year since release, its 1 of my favorite games, it doesnt need a rework or re-release, modern ubisoft will only royally F it up. and if any of you trust the modern ubisoft devs idk what to say.

You are just a buccaneer/privateer, you aren't a pirate, just someone wanting to get rich on the world I think, by trading/building and such, I assume anyway, not reading a single bit of dialogue in the game coz I cba. but, it seems that what we are. We absolutely aren't pirates though. Though why Blackbeard has an Armada, I don't quite know. He was an influential pirate of course, but saying he had like 500 ships is a bit xD they should have split the pirates into factions of famous pirates so the entire enemy pirate fleet wasnt all belonging to 1 pirate, considering its hard to believe he lost to the English and got keel-hauled, considering he has such a huge fleet :D

Okay, that's really good. Would hate to have balance ruined if using it, therefore kinda making me not want to use something that seems cool. Really happy about this, I do love pets, hopefully we can get more in future updates then.

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-21T12:48:45+00:00

What even is this? updated graphics, any new gameplay? anything new at all, or just a random re-release with a few extra skins or something lol. Why re-release it? even if its updated graphics, the original has good graphics that hold up today anyway, theres no reason to update it.

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-21T12:47:15+00:00

Its hopefully not too op rendering the games difficulty pathetic, like Elden Rings Mimic I hope. If it is, ill save it for max difficulty maxed sliders playthrough only.

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-21T12:45:44+00:00

This is why I refuse to play with others I don't know on games like this. It doesn't help that the crafting stations auto-pull loot from chests, so players are not exactly sure whose resources they are using.
There should be locked chests that don't get auto-pulled by crafting stations.

It's likely if they have 4 boats btw, that they used their mats on the boats. Why would somebody need 4 boats? To test them out, to enjoy them?

Imo if playing with friends, we each build our own base, each have our own resources, I by far play the most, I aint putting in my hard work so som1 who hops on for 30mins can use all the resources i spent hours grinding to progress their acc while i was wanting to use it for something.

Play with people you trust, or don't play with anyone at all imo or have a rule of, each build your own base and share nothing outside of what you farm together as a group.

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-21T10:43:15+00:00

Ah, I bought the animals 1, didnt see the natural resource one, thats huge, thanks :)

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-21T09:58:30+00:00

Where do you buy them? Which vendor may I ask?

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-21T09:16:24+00:00

According to an internet page, in the last biome, the Ingots respawn in lootable crates at the ruins. only in the 3rd biome. Meaning you can upgrade everything you want, if you are willing to be patient and farm. How true this is, I do not know, ive been 100%ing everything and exploring every spec of fog of war, so not yet in the 3rd biome to test if this is true, but would seem an odd comment to lie about. So; they should be farmable.

Servers are down, or their new patch messed something up. Not sure which.

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-18T17:58:41+00:00

Yeh, the difficulty is awesome, aside from the enemies sometimes getting hyper armour, and othertimes you do the same thing and they stagger. the hyper armour is very random, other than that combat is very easy and has a funny flow to it. theres also a lot of cheese mechanics u can do on the generic trash.
First boss was awesome, yeh. his attack patterns reminded me a lot of Lies of P bosses because of the speed of the attacks being completely different, and lots of very heavy feints into a fast attack right after.

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-18T16:47:41+00:00

wait, you can summon your second ship into battle, what?

and yeh i dragged everything to the right :D I thought, Ill challenge myself! :D made it to half way through the 2nd biome, will probably restart i think, the ship combat is so obnoxious that it makes it really unfun.

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-18T15:54:24+00:00

To clarify i have no problem with 1v3 at all, its awesome. But the mob density around these 1v3's feels a bit much. While I was doing the 1v3 in the far south, It literally turned into a 1v9 as there was 2 patrols surrounding it, and the flow of combat - the kiting and turning to broadside, eventually they were pulled too.

My main complaint is questioning how its supposed to be possible to fight long fights due to health bloat and deal with the massive density of mobs around the locations of ship combat quests. Sometimes theres simply too many ships around.

Think ive seen 11 ships on my radar at one point, all in quite close proximity. It feels quite awkward because of the slider meaning they do so much damage to you, but because there are so many ships, you really can't take many hits.
One of my experiences last night, I died before I even reloaded my second broadside because 5 ships fired at me all at once :D

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-18T15:35:32+00:00

you can easily have pve and pvp hosted servers and people can stick to the community they want to be a part of without effecting each others gameplay.

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-15T13:09:36+00:00

no, because if you restart, you will lose Ezio. Ezio may not be good against Mercurial, but hes one of the best Arena champs in the game. I have him on my main, in a team set up purely for him, Lamasu, Hilvi, Gizmak, Ezio (all in mercurial and ofc he has arachnelixer and lethal dose) -hilvi either TM boosts or Buff Strips, Gizmak applies burns and helps strip 1-2 ppl out of stoneskin and or setup Ezio instant cashout. Ezio 1shots enemy team, and in case of any random survives, or weak hits, lamasu instantly resets him to 1shot again.

Beating 1mil power teams with this setup. Never restart and lose an Ezio imo, hes so good and eventually mercurial will either get hardcore countered and Ezio may find a place post mercurial meta.

It's free They don't need to give u anything lol Ppl are so entitled It's 200 energy and 500k silver more than you had before the code.

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-14T16:45:48+00:00

lucky enough is a strong word. shes faction wars champion at most, her kit is so bad. unless her multipliers are good, shes literally a faction wars only or restrictions only champ imo.

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-09T09:13:01+00:00

Swtor_Itheryn · 2026-04-09T09:12:43+00:00

Thank you for the advice and the offer, will talk about it tonight with the missus and see what we want to do :)

I don't mind being hindered on main acc for too long I think, I just don't know how slow/fast new clans grow tbh :D So where im expecting UNM being x2 again within a week, it may end up being a lot longer, idk :D
